Question: Hi, i need to put my mind a rest over some concerns I have. Background: I'm a male in my late thirties, southasian, and generally in good health. For the last 2 years I have been engaging in some unhealthy behavior. I have been with many call girls and have performed oral on them, I have also been using cocaine along with drinking and smoking. This was a very difficult time for me and I engaged in these acts as a way to deal with some issues. I have stopped now however there are some physical concerns which linger. My main concern is that I feel a tightness at the bottom of my neck, i'm not sure if this is related to anxiety or whether it can be attributed to something else. I also experience tingling lips from time to time however have never had an outbreak. I have checked my neck, mouth for any signs of lesions, lumps, bumps and I do not see any. I have been reading up on HPV and i am almost certain that I do have the virus given the amount of women i have seen and the nature of their work. I don't know what to expect from here on end or how to easy my mind. Any direction would be appreciated.

Hello Dr, thanks for your reply. I have had a STD test done and all has come back negative. My concern is that these symptons I'm experiencing are due to general anxiety however I am not sure if it really is possible for stress to produce such related symptons.
